Navigating Life's Next Chapter in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno
Real people. Real fears. Real outcomes when experience, strategy, and care collide.
Joe's Journey: From Discouraged Buyer to Dream-Home Owner
Joe, a successful Apple executive, spent years searching for a home in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. He worked with multiple real estate agents, wrote twelve offers, and lost every single one. Despite his strong financial position and deep desire to provide stability for his family, he remained stuck in a rental home, feeling defeated and questioning whether he should leave California altogether.
A friend who knew my track record encouraged Joe to contact me. When we met, he shared the long, exhausting saga of missed opportunities and disappointing results. After listening carefully, I knew exactly what was happening—and more importantly, I knew I could change the outcome.
With my local connections, deep market knowledge, and proven negotiation strategies, I felt 100% confident I could get Joe and his family into a home they loved.
Within a short time of working together, everything shifted. I positioned Joe's offer strategically—not as the highest offer, but as the strongest. Through advanced negotiation techniques, thorough preparation, and relationships built over decades in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, Joe secured the home of his dreams. Even he was amazed at how smoothly the process unfolded after so many failures elsewhere.
"When we first met, Joe told me he felt like he would 'never catch up' to his friends who had built wealth through homeownership."
Today, he has far surpassed them. His home has appreciated significantly, and the decision to stay in California—paired with the right guidance from a top realtor—transformed his family's future.
Couple Moves to the Next Chapter in Life
A Los Gatos couple in their later years owned an estate property where they had lived for 35 long years. They were ready to downsize into a home they could leave "feet first," as they described.
Overwhelmed by the thought of clearing away a lifetime of precious memories, treasures, and—yes—junk, the idea of sorting, donating, hauling, and preparing the property for sale felt utterly impossible. Paralyzed with fear, they couldn't imagine how to move forward. The path felt too heavy, too unknown, and far too overwhelming.
We first met at an open house, and I could immediately sense the weight they were carrying. I shared a few personal thoughts—messages of hope and understanding. After our conversation, something shifted. They felt different. They knew I was the real estate agent who could help them through this moment. They realized they weren't alone anymore; support and peace were on the way. They even began to feel excited.
Once the help arrived—gardeners, handymen, tree trimmers, haulers—their burden began to lift. As I orchestrated a sea of chaos into organized, purposeful spaces, with my hands dirty and my truck working overtime, serenity started to take shape.
Almost magically, with time, their home transformed, and their emotional load lightened. Peace washed over them, and life began to feel possible again.
When the property became market-ready—desirable to many instead of only a few—it sold for a record-breaking price. Today, this couple, like so many others, is settled into their new "forever" home, with a garden just big enough for flowers but easy enough to maintain. They remain deeply grateful and continue to feel free from the weight that long-term homeownership can bring.
What a gift it is for me to walk with people through life's transitions and help ease their burdens. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve those in need, however that may look today. And again, I thank my clients for allowing me to share in the joy and purpose of right-sizing.

My process
Everything You Need From Prep to Close
Every successful sale follows a clear path: first, we set the plan, then prepare your home with diligence, and finally launch and close with confidence. Annette’s proven three-step process keeps you informed and stress-free while she manages the details.
- Step 1: Plan & Strategy
- Step 2: Prepare & Disclosures
- Step 3: Launch & Close
Every sale starts with a game plan. Annette evaluates your goals, the current market, and timing factors like seasonality and buyer demand. Together, you’ll review a custom calendar, analyze neighborhood-level data, and decide whether to launch on-market, off-market, or in phases. This planning step ensures you go live at the optimal time with a strategy designed to maximize exposure and net proceeds.
Before buyers walk in the door, Annette coordinates all the moving pieces that make your home shine and your transaction bulletproof. She manages clean-outs, staging, minor updates, and curb appeal improvements that deliver ROI. At the same time, she organizes disclosures, inspections, and reports so buyers can move quickly and confidently. This step not only boosts the presentation of your home but also removes friction once offers come in.
With the prep complete, it’s time to go live. Annette executes a full marketing campaign with professional photography, cinematic video, social advertising, and MLS syndication. She hosts showings and open houses, gathers real-time feedback, and manages negotiations with precision—whether it’s one strong offer or multiple buyers competing. Once in escrow, she tracks deadlines, negotiates repairs or credits, and coordinates the close so you can focus on your move. The result: a smooth finish and a sale you feel good about.

The Benefits of Working With Annette
I walk your home, build a simple punch list, and craft a visual “storyboard” for the listing. Light edits, styling, and pro media follow—photos, a short reel, and copy that highlights what buyers value on your street. Disclosures are organized before we go live to keep momentum.
We time your release to real buyer activity, private previews first, then MLS. I set a showing cadence (broker tour, evenings, weekend windows) that respects your routines while concentrating interest into tight bursts. The result is energy without burnout.
Your home gets a dedicated listing page, high-reach portals, targeted social and email to top local agents, plus tasteful print for the right doors. Optional geofencing and retargeting keep serious buyers circling back. All links are trackable, so we pivot with data.
Quiet showings for vetted, qualified buyers, relocation partners, past clients, and agents with ready purchasers. When appropriate, we use NDAs and limited access to protect privacy and preserve leverage before the public debut.
I prepare the decision table: terms, strength of financing, appraisal coverage, rent-back options, and timelines. We counter with purpose—cleaner contingencies, better certainty, and a close date that fits your move.
